Coronavirus Ireland: Every single rule that will be in place when pubs open this month

Ireland's "wet pubs" are set to reopen on September 21 after being forced to call last orders back in March.

While the Government has not provided official confirmation, Taoiseach Micheal Martin said this was the date they are targeting.

And we also have some insight as to what rules and guidelines are going to be in place when bars finally do reopen.

While this is subject to change, the majority of the guidelines are likely to be the same.

So, here is everything you need to know about what is expected to be allowed when the pubs reopen:

No requirement for substantial €9 meal

A substantial meal will no longer be a requirement as so-called "wet pubs", which don't serve food, are allowed to reopen.

105-minute limit set to be scrapped - in certain circumstances

The proposed new rules say that a limit of 105 minutes at a pub is not necessary if physical distancing of two metres is “strictly maintained” between tables.

However, the rule will be applied if only one metre is possible.

No more than six people from three households allowed at one table

Under the draft guidelines, no more than six people will be allowed at one table, and they must not come from more than three different households.

This applies to both pre-booked tables and walk-in customers.

One-metre distancing between people from different households

People sitting at the same table are asked to keep a one-metre distance where possible, unless they are from the same household.

Table service only

Sitting at the bar will be a thing of the past, for the time being at least, as it will be table service only and no ordering at the bar is allowed.

No customers allowed past 11.30pm

Closing time will be 11.30pm, and no customers will be permitted to remain on the premises past this time.

Face coverings to be worn by employees

All employees working in a customer-facing role will be asked to wear face coverings.

Cash will be discouraged

The use of cash will be discouraged, with customers asked to use card payments where possible.
